Kazakh Government to strengthen responsibility of heat power industry monopolists

This year the country launched a program tariff in exchange for investments. In 2023 the Government attracted some 220 billion tenge of private investments in this sphere, almost 6,000 km of engineering infrastructure, and 77 heating and energy sources, including TPPs, hydroelectric power stations, and boiler-houses were repaired. Besides, wages for more than 200,000 workers have increased.
